For their next musical adventure, PNAU is aiming straight for the heart — with some help from Mexico’s The Warning.
The electronic music hitmakers return with “Tu Corazón (Your Heart),” a good time crunched into three pumping minutes. It’s a piece of art years in the making, honed on multiple continents.
“Tu Corazón,” say reps for PNAU’s Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes, is a song about opening your heart to the beauty around you, an important reminder in this ever-changing world.

PNAU were first made aware of The Warning when Littlemore’s other project, Empire of the Sun, was filming in Mexico more than a decade ago. At the time, The Warning, the Villarreal Vélez sisters Daniela (guitar, vocals, piano), Paulina (drums, vocals, piano), and Alejandra (bass guitar, backing vocals, piano), were a band on the way up, dreaming of the big stage.
After an initial meeting, the siblings headed to a recording session in PNAU’s studio in downtown Los Angeles. “Tu Corazón (Your Heart)” is part of that long-percolating collaborative process.
“Tu Corazón is a flash of ecstatic dance, coming at you from our sister city of Monterrey,” comments Littlemore. “A once storied adventure, now a booming jam – punk, love and all wild. Try as you might to sit still, I challenge you to do so. You have been warned!”
The Warning adds: “This song is about opening your heart to every beautiful thing this world has to offer through community and the people we love. We had a great time working with PNAU creating something this unique and fun! It was a very nostalgic process for us and we loved connecting with our past selves through this song. We are grateful to have been a part of this record and we love Pete and Nick very much!”
The official music video was shot in Monterrey, and can be seen below.
Forged in Sydney’s rave scene, PNAU has gone where few Australian electronic acts have ventured before: landing No. 1 hits around the globe.
An international breakthrough came when PNAU joined forces with Elton John on the Rocket Man’s 2012 remix album Good Morning to the Night. The collection went to No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. PNAU and Elton repeated the feat for another remix, 2021’s “Cold Heart” with Dua Lipa, and landed a bonafide global smash.
“Tu Corazón” follows The Warning’s single “Kerosene,” and a bunch of high-profile concerts and festival spots including Lollapalooza Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and a record-breaking crowd of 50,000 for their homecoming date at Monterrey. Later this year, the sister act will support YUNGBLUD on his IDOLS World Tour in the United States and United Kingdom.
“Tu Corazón (Your Heart)” comes on the heels of PNAU’s collaborations with Italian trio MEDUZA, “Rollin,” “Light Me Up” with Kungs, and a slew of remixes with the likes of including Coldplay, Parcels, Tame Impala, Diana Ross and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
The latest incarnation of PNAU is the OG lineup. Sam Littlemore, Nick’s brother, joined in 2016 and wrapped up at the end of the last album cycle, 2024’s Hyperbolic. Billboard understands Sam contributed to the production of the new song, which was recorded before they parted ways.
To coincide with the new release, PNAU announces a 12-date Nirvana Tour of Australia’s East Coast this June and July, the winter months in these parts. Before that, the lads will debut their live show May 1 at Foro Indie Rocks! in Mexico City.
